I've been holding back, With two sides to [F#m] a book,
I lick stamps and light matches, And set [E] fires and garbage pails,
And cabbage patches, Child of [F#m] the corn,
Been wild since I was born, Climbing [E] over barbed [A] wire,
Clothes got torn, Shoes [F#] got bloody,
And my clique turned cruddy, Wherever [A] I go,
They with, They my buddies,
[E] I brush [F#m] teeth, Brush naps and [C#] call streets,
Dreaming of [C#m] Cadillacs, [A] Wood wheels and plush seats,
Cats with [F#m] gold teeth, And raps with such teeth,
Macs with [E] no grief, And some sacks of green leaf,
When I loaded my [F#m] cap gun, I was ready for action,
Staring at [E] beer cans, In [A] the moment to crack one,
Wanna hang with the [F#] big boys, And play with the big toys,
And be with the [A] people, Making all that goddamn noise,
